When the controversy first started, I thought reddit was doing the ol "announce something way worse than what we actually intend so when we compromise and get what we really want everyone will be happy" but no, they didn't budge at all and acted like assholes in the process. If they just remained silent the whole time that would have been better. Instead they showed how they truly do not care about their users.
